I'm gonna vote for it being the other way round, much like the standard FPRs are where the fuel bears against a much larger area of the valve than it would if it were trying to get through the bottom.

So in through the side and out through the bottom :) (I reckon)

No i stay with my 1st option ,
my thinking is if its like u say the pressure gauge would be measureing dead end pressure of pump ,
not the regulated pressure of the outlet , as u can see the drilling for the press g is in line withe the horizotal pipe
but its only a 50/50 problem try it and see :)

the easiset way to find out is hook it up and look at the pressure gauge with the car cranked. if u have it backwards then the fpr will peg out at the fuel pumps max pressure. if this is the case turn it around and ur set. i had this same problem on my turbo vw.

Bottom is indeed the return to tank

I'm sure there are arrows marking the flow cast into the body ?

there probably are Ant :roll:

still a few issues to resolve with these TBs, but it shouldn't be too long now 8)

thanks to everyone for their input. I considered just connecting it and seeing what happened but thought i might damage it by putting the feed in at the wrong end. :D
